Dior Cheng Yi Kin and music creator Chan Kwong Wing yesterday promoted their song USED TO IT for the film BREAK UP 100 (FUN SAU 100 CHI) on Commercial Radio. Ekin felt that lately the Hong Kong music market rarely had film original soundtrack. This time the film company put an effort into producing the record, invited Ivana Wong Yuen Chi, C AllStar and Ekin to perform songs for the film. It was a rare production. Ekin asked Chan Kwong Wing to tailor a song for him, which enabled him to put his impression after watching BREAK into a song.

Ekin pointed out that in the past decade he has infrequently performed love songs. He hoped this time the song that Chan Kwong Wing created for him would be able to bring back the love sing performance feeling to him; he also said that he once through about asking lead actress Chrissie Chau Sau Na to perform the song. He said, "If she could sing then it would be great. Her voice itself wasn't the problem, a deep voice could sound good too."

BREAK UP 100's box office performance was worse in the Mainland than in Hong Kong. Ekin pointed out that this film was not released on too many cinema circuits in the Mainland. "This is a Hong Kong film. When we promoted in the Mainland, the film just opened. After we left it left the cinemas too. So I hope Hong Kong would have more circuit with it." He also said that he was busy with the September 27 and 28 YOUNG AND DANGEROUS concert 2014 preparations at the Hong Kong Coliseum.
